Check the area around this school
87th of 215 primary schools in Leicestershire we can score, 231 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,133 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0/10 among them, against 4.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Woodstone Community Primary School
Overview
Woodstone Community Primary School is described as an inclusive institution that is “at the centre of its community” and has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” Pupils are “extremely happy” and behave “impeccably” within a welcoming ethos that fosters a strong sense of family and pride. The school continues to provide a high-quality education with a clear focus on reading, character development, and personal growth.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “mapped out carefully” with vocabulary given high priority, enabling pupils to use subject-specific language “correctly and with confidence.”
- Staff are “knowledgeable about how to support pupils with SEND,” providing effective in-class support and working closely with external organisations.
- The personal development offer is a strength, with pupils learning about healthy relationships and respecting diversity, united in saying that “any discrimination is wrong and will not be tolerated.”
- Children in the early years “get off to a strong start,” developing learning routines quickly in a “bright and welcoming environment.”
- Leaders work closely with local schools and external networks to support staff training and improve curriculums in mathematics and English.
Areas to improve
- Staff must better judge when pupils are ready to move on, as some currently spend too long on work they already know, slowing progress through the curriculum.
- The school must ensure consistent opportunities for independent learning, as variations in teacher guidance mean pupils do not always develop necessary “independence or learning fluency.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
